It will be louder. As long as you wire it the way you're supposed to - with seperate relay and fused circuit - it should be fine. I found this horn to be much louder than my pickup or my sedan's horn. Maybe your truck already had louder than average horns. I think some GMs have rebadged FIAM horns that are very loud.

Yes I feel that mine isn't that loud either and yes you could do another one and it should be louder and it will not hurt to your truck as long as you have a relay that can handle the power of both horns

the one i got had the chrome coming off it when i got it. it not worth the money

Barb, you might need more wire, depending on where the horn is located. I had my original horn replaced (because now most car horns are weak) so additional wire was not needed.You will really like this horn.

i read some other guys doing it, but i think you will be a little weak on power, and i had a problum over heating when used at 90% gain. i had to back down to 60%to solve the over heating auto shut down, its a nice clean amp and at 60% it will push my 4 polk audio db651s very very loud and clear....i have 2 8in subs that will shake the car using a boss R1100m amp .....myself ,go with 2 amps, or just one on the subs and the fullrange off the head. the boss is low cost ,and has been getting thrashed 2 hrs a day 6 days a week for almost a year and every thing in the car works as new...... hope this helped

Depends on your exact situation. It could be as simple as replacing your old horns, that is plug and play. In my case I went from one weak squeeeeky horn to the pair of these. I needed about two feet of 18 gauge hook-up wire and three crimp-on wire terminals. These should cost about three or four dollars. I've been very happy with the horns themselves, they are louder and better sounding than the stock horn they replaced. I hope this helps.

Can't tell you for sure. They are great for replacing existing horns, or for adding to a machine that had no previous horn. I guess you'd have to try adding them to an existing horn system. I don't know how you could damage the new horns as long as you wired them in parallel and not series.

yes. it is just a matter of running two wires from the existing horn wire posts to the new horn wire posts. when the horn button is pressed both horns will sound.

If your car has dual horns with two wire connectors on each horn they should work The horn set comes with a relay that you may not need. My only regret is that they are not as loud as the last Fiamm horns I bought. The look the same but they are not near as loud.

IF you lost your instructions Try buying a second one and hope they came off the same production line. The 2 tricks are that you must make the plug wire wrap as close to the spark plug boot as possible as elsewhere you will pick up "ringing" and it will not read correctly; AND if you make a mistake you must shut the engine off to reset the process. :::::REMEMBER YOU MUST SHUT THE ENGINE DOWN IF YOU WANT TO MAKE A CHANGE OR START OVER:::::: Follow the instructions and start over. etc etc etc etc I find that if very careful you can set it for 4 cycle 4 cylinder easily but a mistake will put it on 2 cycle every time. Concentrate on the idea that idle for 4 cycle auto engines is that one cylinder COUNT IS 1/4 / 2 Small engines usually idle at 800 to 900 rpm. If you read close to 850 at idle you probably did not make a mistake. The instructions for the 5 that I bought are not identical to each other as they were purchased at different times for different reasons. They are so cheap you can afford to do this. I BOUGHT 2 FOR MY MINI TRUCK: one for under the hood where I can see it easily from where I need to know what I was doing with the second inside the cab also easily read. Remember that this item is picking up capacitive coupling from a source that jumps a gap of 0.030 inches at the plug which under high pressure is still high voltage. ON the distributor end of that wire the voltage is many times higher. Radio interference and interference to any sensitive electronic device is likely to occur with unshielded space exists. Tricky business if you need an electronic quiet environment.

If you did what i did at first this might help. If you just ran the same power wire for your regular horn for the Dixie horn it does not have enough power. The power has to come directly from the battery. Also check your wiring. And I dont know about where your from but run a separate button for it because in Tx a Dixie horn wont pass inspection.

I placed my amp and wifi adapter in my garage because I use the system outside near my pool. My wifi router from my service provider (Bell Canada) is located insie the house near my back door. I am not sure of the issues with adding two more speakers but I think you should try two first. I also bought the system expecting to add more speakers, but the system is pretty loud and my neighbors are sufficiently upset when I play the system with just two speakers. The sound is great and quite loud.Paul

I looked at this specific ad and it says that it is only one speaker and that if you want a pair, you must put two of them in your cart. The seller also points out that it is an older version. I would ask them why they feel that is a good thing. Maybe they feel the quality of the older version is worth more or maybe they paid this much and hope to get their money back. I know if I had two speakers for sale, I would want to sell them as a set. It is always best to ask the seller.

I haven't install yet to my Toyota Prado it is progress due to much work. But i tried it once by connecting it direct to the battery i was surpriesed i thought it would be loude. Mr. Rupp is correct about the draw, it is taken directly from manufactor datasheet.

This horn isn't loud enough. Hope that helps. Dbs is around the same as a oem horn.

In theory you could, but I don't really see the point.The entire idea to addding a high note or low note horn would be the mabnufacturer did not opt for a full range sound. I would check the horn relay and fuse ratings to see if the rating will allow enough current for the combined draw of all three horns. If not, I would recommend you dont do it.

Based on the sound I get from mine I don't think you would want two. Actually I believe two would be too much. Of course you could always buy another one later.

If, you'd would like to save money and time. Use your factory horn in your car. It's really loud. If, you want to purchase a separate horn. Then go to Radio Shack, Best Buy, and on-line.

Good idea, always better to hear from everyday user's as opposed to someone that works for the company. There may other amps the knob works for that they might not know of, long shot but it may be true lol. I have a kenwood pushing my 2 12's but I forgot which amp I have cause my cars been in the shop for a while. And I did have to purchase the knob separate though. Probably doesn't help any but I would wait and see what others reply, good luck bro ! Oh and by the way check ebay u might get it cheaper there, I only paid about 25$ for mine !
